BPI is a Singapore-based multi-asset clearing business with strong Asia Pacific and China-linked client relationships, adding scale, client balances and regional expertise to Marex. The firm provides its clients with access to commodities and financial products, including FX, index futures and options, and digital asset derivatives.
The acquisition will add approximately $800m in client balances and over 70 employees across Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Norway and the United Kingdom.
The deal is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to complete by late 2026 or early 2027.

“BPI is a well-established business with an experienced and high-quality team. This deal will drive additional revenues by adding clients and increasing client balances and is also expected to provide material synergies from the internalization of some clearing activities. Importantly, it will also enhance our ability to service clients in Asia with a broader range of services from the Marex platform and provide existing Marex clients with an improved access to Chinese markets.”
